NRL Supercoach Draft rankings: Top 150 list

<p>Absolutely love the Draft content, Maxy. Timmy and the rest of the SCPB Crew were lucky to snag a Top 5 pick off Waivers.</p>



<p>Before the footy, there’s your SuperCoach draft.</p>



<p>And to help you with your Draft comp, here’s our Top 150 Draft rankings.</p>



<p>These have been meticulously put together based on a review of positional rankings, positional depth as well as the strength of schedule for Rounds 23 &#8211; 26 aka the SuperCoach draft finals.</p>



<p>This Top 150 has been pulled together against the context of a 12-man comp. If you’re playing a small comp, again there might be some fluctuation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But after road testing this list through many mock drafts I can confidently present them.</p>



<p>Now during your draft you can review this page as a guide to help you. But to get the best results, I recommend updating your Pre Draft board as much as possible. </p>



<p>Given that’s the tool you need to do the draft itself, organisation is key.</p>



<p>So here it is &#8211; let us know what we got wrong in the comments.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Rank</strong></td><td><strong>Player</strong></td><td><strong>Notes</strong></td></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>Nathan Cleary</td><td>The lack of positional depth pushes him to a clear number 1</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Tom Trbojevic</td><td>Great finals draw and high ceiling. If he&#8217;s fit in your finals, you should win.</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>Kalyn Ponga</td><td>Rare ceiling and his goal kicking helps push him above his rivals.</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>James Tedesco</td><td>Won&#8217;t do what he did last year, but his durability and lack of Origin means he&#8217;s a great asset.</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>Jahrome Hughes</td><td>Again, the lack of positional depth hurts but he&#8217;s a stud regardless.</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>Nicho Hynes</td><td>Some risk if he doesn&#8217;t return to this 2023 heights. If you&#8217;re a believer take him even higher.</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>Scott Drinkwater</td><td>Scores well and won&#8217;t play Origin. If he gets the kicking he can challenge the Top 5 on points and average.</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>Reece Walsh</td><td>A rollercoaster but a guy who can win you your matchups when the broncos play well.</td></tr><tr><td>9</td><td>Latrell Mitchell</td><td>A bye in Round 26 hurts, but he will win you lots of games. The injury drops him from 5th to 9th.</td></tr><tr><td>10</td><td>Keano Kini</td><td>The fresh face in the Top 10. Not without risk given he&#8217;s only in his second year of first grade.</td></tr><tr><td>11</td><td>Dylan Edwards</td><td>A consistent scorer, albeit one who could miss games over Origin.</td></tr><tr><td>12</td><td>Reuben Garrick</td><td>First CTW off the board. Always scores well due to goal kicking.</td></tr><tr><td>13</td><td>Dylan Brown</td><td>Lower than years past despite picking up the dual. Comes with some risk given his ACL strain.</td></tr><tr><td>14</td><td>David Fifita</td><td>First 2RF off the board.</td></tr><tr><td>15</td><td>Ryan Papenhuyzen</td><td>If he gets goal kicks he could move into the top 5. Regardless he&#8217;s a top prospect.</td></tr><tr><td>16</td><td>Zac Lomax</td><td>Some are scared off by his move to the centres. I still think he will go well.</td></tr><tr><td>17</td><td>Jacob Kiraz</td><td>Huge workrate is his trade mark. if he can add more tries this year he could be the top averaging CTW.</td></tr><tr><td>18</td><td>Harry Grant</td><td>The best hooker available.</td></tr><tr><td>19</td><td>Eli Katoa</td><td>A certified star. His NZ heritage means his partnership with Hughes usually flourishes throughout origin.</td></tr><tr><td>20</td><td>Angus Crichton</td><td>Not tipped to hit the heights of last year but still rock solid.</td></tr><tr><td>21</td><td>Isaah Yeo</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>22</td><td>Cam Munster</td><td>Could go as high as 13 or much later depending on your appetitie for risk. How he returns post surgery we don&#8217;t know.</td></tr><tr><td>23</td><td>Brian To&#8217;o</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>24</td><td>Herbie Farnworth</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>25</td><td>Val Holmes</td><td>A new team is expected to score less, but he&#8217;s still going to be a valuable guy to own.</td></tr><tr><td>26</td><td>Daly Cherry-Evans</td><td>Could be taken later based on his average, but on positional depth he could land this high.</td></tr><tr><td>27</td><td>Jayden Campbell</td><td>A sneaky 70 point average last year was fantastic. A move to halfback adds question marks. His dual position makes him a top 30 pick.</td></tr><tr><td>28</td><td>Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow</td><td>Doesn&#8217;t have the same base scores as other fullbacks but can go high thanks to his speed and try scoring ability.</td></tr><tr><td>29</td><td>Addin Fonua-Blake</td><td>The top FRF. Don&#8217;t take him higher than this as FRF isn&#8217;t important.</td></tr><tr><td>30</td><td>Payne Haas</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>31</td><td>Dane Gagai</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>32</td><td>Ronaldo Mulitalo</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>33</td><td>Clint Gutherson</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>34</td><td>Haumole Olakau&#8217;atu</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>35</td><td>Briton Nikora</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>36</td><td>Hudson Young</td><td>A sneakily good SuperCoach prospect. Don&#8217;t sleep on him.</td></tr><tr><td>37</td><td>Kayal Iro</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>38</td><td>J&#8217;maine Hopgood</td><td>Could be top 20 if we knew he was going to get big minutes.</td></tr><tr><td>39</td><td>Mitch Barnett</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>40</td><td>Terrell May</td><td>From undrafted last year, May is now expected to average 65+ at FRF.</td></tr><tr><td>41</td><td>Mitch Moses</td><td>Loses goal kicking hence his drop out of the Top 20.</td></tr><tr><td>42</td><td>Jamayne Isaako</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>43</td><td>Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>44</td><td>Pat Carrigan</td><td>His mooted shift to FRF this year means we don&#8217;t know how he will score. Worth a punt around this time of the draft.</td></tr><tr><td>45</td><td>Matt Burton</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>46</td><td>Joseph Tapine</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>47</td><td>Tom Dearden</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>48</td><td>Lachie Galvin</td><td>Pending on if you&#8217;re a believer of not, Galvin could move up a few spots but I think this is a good spot for the second year player. Let&#8217;s see how he goes with Luai before we get carried away.</td></tr><tr><td>49</td><td>Connor Watson</td><td>Handy dual position.</td></tr><tr><td>50</td><td>Cam Murray</td><td>Pending injury update</td></tr><tr><td>51</td><td>Dylan Lucas</td><td>Handy dual position &#8211; best to pick him at CTW.</td></tr><tr><td>52</td><td>Jarome Luai</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>53</td><td>Tino Fa&#8217;asuamaleaui</td><td>At times a top 10 pick. Let&#8217;s see how he comes back from his ACL injury before picking him too high.</td></tr><tr><td>54</td><td>Reece Robson</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>55</td><td>Api Koroisau</td><td>If he were to lose goal kicking he could drop 40 spots in this list.</td></tr><tr><td>56</td><td>Jesse Ramien</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>57</td><td>Jayden Su&#8217;a</td><td>Sneaky 67 average last year, so he&#8217;s shown his class. But best not go too early.</td></tr><tr><td>58</td><td>Jeremy Marshall-King</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>59</td><td>Damien Cook</td><td>New club, new role? we don&#8217;t know so don&#8217;t go too early on Cookie.</td></tr><tr><td>60</td><td>Dan Tupou</td><td>Averaged 65 last year but that was under different halves.</td></tr><tr><td>61</td><td>Cody Walker</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>62</td><td>Greg Marzhew</td><td>Some people took Greg in the top 15 last year. We&#8217;re being a bit more conservative this season.</td></tr><tr><td>63</td><td>Nick Meaney</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>64</td><td>Dom Young</td><td>Averaged over 70 last year but we are not expecting the same with no Manu inside him.</td></tr><tr><td>65</td><td>Selwyn Cobbo</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>66</td><td>Campbell Graham</td><td>A risky pick given we have not seen him play for almost two years.</td></tr><tr><td>67</td><td>Keaon Koloamatangi</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>68</td><td>Isaiah Papali&#8217;i</td><td>New club, new role. Not sure what we will get.</td></tr><tr><td>69</td><td>Max Plath</td><td>Handy dual position this year but with an unclear role you can wait to almost pick 70 to take him.</td></tr><tr><td>70</td><td>Cam McInnes</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>71</td><td>Connor Tracey</td><td>One of the few remaining dual position players. A decent guy to reach higher for if you have concerns with your fullback&#8217;s injury history.</td></tr><tr><td>72</td><td>Bradman Best</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>73</td><td>Roger Tuivasa-Sheck</td><td>Will move to the wing this year which should see an increase in his scoring.</td></tr><tr><td>74</td><td>Paul Alamoti</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>75</td><td>AJ Brimson</td><td>Should earn dual 5/8 at some point which makes him a handy guy to own.</td></tr><tr><td>76</td><td>Te Maire Martin</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>77</td><td>Beau Fermor</td><td>Handy dual. We saw him play both sides yesterday &#8211; if he ends up on the left, it&#8217;s all systems go.</td></tr><tr><td>78</td><td>Philip Sami</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>79</td><td>Brian Kelly</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>80</td><td>Sam Walker</td><td>Injured to start the year but given the lack of depth at HFB is still relevant.</td></tr><tr><td>81</td><td>Jacob Preston</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>82</td><td>Izack Tago</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>83</td><td>Fletcher Sharpe</td><td>Good duals and could score well at five-eighth. As the backup to Kalyn Ponga he&#8217;s a handy stash.</td></tr><tr><td>84</td><td>Jeremiah Nanai</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>85</td><td>Jahream Bula</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>86</td><td>Keao Weekes</td><td>This is a decent time to take Weekes who needs a lot of attack to score well.</td></tr><tr><td>87</td><td>Murray Taulagi</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>88</td><td>Brayden Trindall</td><td>Averaged well last year but scored a lot of tries. If Nicho were to get injured you&#8217;d be stoked to own him.</td></tr><tr><td>89</td><td>Ben Hunt</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>90</td><td>Zac Hosking</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>91</td><td>Lehi Hopoate</td><td>Another handy guy to own thanks to the role he&#8217;d win if Turbo got hurt.</td></tr><tr><td>92</td><td>Reed Mahoney</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>93</td><td>Blayke Brailey</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>94</td><td>Jeral Skelton</td><td>Big watch on team lists. Has a huge motor and workrate but is still working on his defence.</td></tr><tr><td>95</td><td>Sandon Smith</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>96</td><td>Jacob Liddle</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>97</td><td>Casey McLean</td><td>Whoever earns the starting spot at Penrith out of him and his brother should be taken around here.</td></tr><tr><td>98</td><td>Shawn Blore</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>99</td><td>Euan Aikten</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>100</td><td>Nat Butcher</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>101</td><td>Will Penisini</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>102</td><td>Christian Tuipulotu</td><td>Sneaky good player last season who can score tries in contact.</td></tr><tr><td>103</td><td>Sunia Turuva</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>104</td><td>Luke Brooks</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>105</td><td>Deine Mariner</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>106</td><td>Max King</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>107</td><td>Blaize Talagi</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>108</td><td>Reuben Cotter</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>109</td><td>Teig Wilton</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>110</td><td>Braidon Burns</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>111</td><td>Kelma Tuilagi</td><td>Big watch on minutes at Parra. If he gets 80 you could be getting a steal at this pick.</td></tr><tr><td>112</td><td>Sam Stonestreet</td><td>This is purely based on team lists. If he gets the spot, he&#8217;s got the skill to average well.</td></tr><tr><td>113</td><td>Moses Suli</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>114</td><td>Jamal Fogarty</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>115</td><td>Luke Metcalf</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>116</td><td>Jack Wighton</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>117</td><td>Jake Averillo</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>118</td><td>Lindsay Smith</td><td>Should get a minutes up tick and average 55-60 this year at FRF.</td></tr><tr><td>119</td><td>Jack de Belin</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>120</td><td>Luciano Leilua</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>121</td><td>James Fisher-Harris</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>122</td><td>Stefano</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>123</td><td>Josh Curran</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>124</td><td>Ali Leiataua</td><td>Bullocking talent who could shoot up this list if he&#8217;s a focal point of the Warriors attack.
